One small step for man…

Taking one giant leap for mankind, the XGV-A “Orbiter” represents the future of space exploration systems. An alternative to today’s rocket launches, the Orbiter sends astronauts or other payloads into space from a low orbit, facilitating and increasing launches and minimizing environmental risk. Virtually a massive, unmanned aircraft, the Orbiter boasts two giant wings and rear flaps equipped with five oversized Ultra-High Bypass turbofan engines. In other words – a big, powerful thrust range.
